Fine or penalty
Chinese regulators fined the shareholders of Beijing Hyundai Leasing CNY 900,000 for violating anti-monopoly regulations. The State Anti-Monopoly Regulation Bureau said the joint venture failed to declare its combined income before obtaining its business license; the watchdog determined that it would have little impact on market competition.
